Aurora movie theater shooting trial day 20: Videotaped interviews with gunman to be played in court
Day 20 in the Aurora movie theater shooting trial – People vs. James Eagan Holmes. Today, prosecutors plan to question state-appointed psychiatrist Dr. William Reid to the stand and play videotaped interviews between the doctor and the gunman. During the course of the trial, prosecutors will argue that Holmes, the admitted gunman, was sane when he went into the midnight premiere of the Dark Knight Rises in an Aurora, Colo., movie theater and opened fire on the audience, killing 12 and wounding 70. His defense attorneys will try to spare Holmes’ life by arguing that he was insane. 7NEWS and TheDenverChannel.com will have gavel to gavel coverage of the trial starting at 8:15 a.m. (MST) everyday and ending around 5:30 p.m. (MST) Watch new live video on our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/7NewsDenver/live Additional resources:LIVE VIDEO & BLOG: http://bit.ly/theatertrialTIMELINE of the case: http://bit.ly/theatertimelineJURY PROFILE: http://bit.ly/theaterjury CONTINUING COVERAGE: http://bit.ly/theatercoverage
@Penguins - I went there first because I thought it would be nice to be able to continue chat during lunch. But the chat is of a very low quality lol.

did they really think it could be thrown out that easily? i mean maybe not allow testimony but a mistrial based on that?
by sydnijmm5/28/2015 7:40:05 PM
WHOA: #TheaterShooting Def wanted a mistrial as a result of statement made by Dr. William Reid. Judge determined answer was not improper.

Good afternoon I've missed most of this trial today
by Joey 5/28/2015 7:41:30 PM
FYI I counted these as two! I just knew they would try the mistrial angle been waiting for that.
by NT85/28/2015 7:41:49 PM
@nt wonder if this is the first of many mistrial attempts? start a tally!
by sydnijmm5/28/2015 7:42:02 PM
@Abrandt - I think you are right
by Niki C5/28/2015 7:42:03 PM
@NT8 YAYAY I would!!
by Joey5/28/2015 7:44:47 PM
@Joey, you missed some great stuff right before lunch!
by NT85/28/2015 7:44:49 PM
Mr King, exactly how many angels are on the head of a pin?
Geeze,...
by Harold Finch5/28/2015 7:44:51 PM
did the judge get mad at the defense for trying?
by Joey 5/28/2015 7:44:53 PM
@Syd, Already did!! LOL!!!
by NT85/28/2015 7:44:55 PM
Uh oh Ricky Martin is pissed he didn't get what he wanted!!
by Joey5/28/2015 7:44:58 PM
Look who's NOT swiveling in his chair anymore. (JH) Now he's paying attention!
by FMM5/28/2015 7:45:00 PM
I saw that coming like a B 52 doing a low fly over!
by NT85/28/2015 7:45:05 PM
what point is king trying to make
by nessa7325/28/2015 7:45:08 PM
Wow there is another Joey in this chat!!
by Joey5/28/2015 7:45:33 PM
Defense Attorney Dan King says he is concerned that the jury will not understand the standards for insanity. He would still like Dr. Reid's previous statement stricken from the record.
by anica.padilla5/28/2015 7:46:37 PM
why is king making this argument right now? this is why we are in court. this is what he will have the chance to prove later.
by sydnijmm5/28/2015 7:46:45 PM
Slap down time from Samour!
by NT85/28/2015 7:46:46 PM
wow I changed my name to joe so we don't get confused on chat.
by Joe 5/28/2015 7:47:03 PM
@nessa he is muddying the water, ie trying to raise a reasonable doubt, but without any actual basis in fact
by Harold Finch5/28/2015 7:47:39 PM
Love Judge Samour!
by Christine Armenta5/28/2015 7:47:40 PM
I love this judge!
by Angela Freeman5/28/2015 7:47:41 PM
Samour already ruled and has told the jury the guidelines for insanity the defense seems desperate
by nessa7325/28/2015 7:49:54 PM
Judge Samour is so professional, love him.
by WildnTX5/28/2015 7:49:54 PM
AC is loving this!! When he's confident it's hard for him to contain himself.
by Kristle5/28/2015 7:49:56 PM
@Joe it is ok. It was just weird because I was like I didn't write that! LOL
by Joey5/28/2015 7:49:57 PM
@King, Sit down and shut up.
by NT85/28/2015 7:49:57 PM
GO JUDGE SAMOUR!!!!
by Joey5/28/2015 7:49:58 PM
"I'm not quibbling with the court, Judge", says King. Ummmm - yes you are! Pompus, misbegotten, flea bag, son of a camel!
by DocJ5/28/2015 7:50:00 PM
love this Judge
by Noodle5/28/2015 7:50:01 PM
What just happened King was talking then all of a sudden Orman and AC left.
by Joey5/28/2015 7:50:01 PM
can I write comments
by Sheri5/28/2015 7:50:02 PM
@anica: Sorry about the cursing. King has finally pushed me over the edge. Grrrr.
by DocJ5/28/2015 7:50:12 PM
Since when does society morals and the law have to match! And King is not too sharp. Needs to pay attention more; his objections are untimely!
by Valm465/28/2015 7:50:15 PM
Yes this is the second time the DT asked for a mistrial. The stakes are high for the DT to get the NTRI so ANY misstep, they're ready to jump on it.
by Kristle5/28/2015 7:50:37 PM
Agreed all...Judge is amazing!
by Tammy 5/28/2015 7:50:37 PM
@shen sure!
by Abrandt5/28/2015 7:51:36 PM
I think part of the DT's problem is their objections are not clear and they have to continuously clarify, thus does not look prepared
by Niki C5/28/2015 7:51:37 PM
Now he is swiveling again in the chair guess he's nervous
